they've been shown, not available for purchase yet

2016-07-14 19:19:02 UTC  

seems about as powerful as a 290/390

2016-07-14 19:19:06 UTC  

and same price

2016-07-14 19:19:20 UTC  

lower power, vram

2016-07-14 19:19:28 UTC  

if it's the same price why wouldn't you

2016-07-14 19:19:38 UTC  

huh, wonder if they might have used the same chip or something

AMD - Rebadge every year makes the povertyfags queer

2016-07-14 19:21:04 UTC  

its not a rebadge, it's a completely new architecture

2016-07-14 19:21:15 UTC  

way lower power as a result, delivering similar results to the high end cards

2016-07-14 19:21:19 UTC  

that's what they want you to think, goyim

2016-07-14 19:21:30 UTC  

i'm not a fanboy for either side, that's just reality

2016-07-14 19:21:32 UTC  

I saw comparisons and the power difference wasn't that huge

2016-07-14 19:21:44 UTC  

unless you're reading Pajeet's official benchmarks sponsored by AMD

2016-07-14 19:22:19 UTC  

huge vram is a meme anyway, or it is right now

2016-07-14 19:22:57 UTC  

tfw I have my PC on all year round with a R9 290 and the bills are never bad

2016-07-14 19:23:09 UTC  

its not about expense, it's about heat and PSU requirements

2016-07-14 19:23:16 UTC  

i can throw an rx 480 in a mini itx no problem as a result

2016-07-14 19:23:36 UTC

2016-07-14 19:23:59 UTC  

yeah they haven't evolved much in years

2016-07-14 19:24:11 UTC  

maybe if you've never used a 290/390 it would seem like a huge jump

2016-07-14 19:24:27 UTC  

@Deleted User, not everyone is upgrading from a 290/390

2016-07-14 19:24:43 UTC  

exactly, I'm saying the differences are so minor to me it doesn't warrant an upgrade

2016-07-14 19:24:46 UTC  

I'd be upgrading from a 960 but I don't see a benefit

2016-07-14 19:24:55 UTC  

i'm in the same boat, i have a 780ti and jack shit is worth upgrading the last 2-3 years

2016-07-14 19:25:02 UTC  

but this mini ITX is sporting a 660 ti

2016-07-14 19:25:17 UTC  

every game I play works fine except fo4 that has bumpy spots but i have a friend who has a 980 and he has the same problem

2016-07-14 19:25:25 UTC  

>fallout 4

2016-07-14 19:25:26 UTC  

bethesda never gets perf right

2016-07-14 19:25:34 UTC  

you fucked up even installing that garbage

2016-07-14 19:25:37 UTC  

engine always blows dick and the whole thing is a shitstack

2016-07-14 19:25:58 UTC  

Fallout 4 contributed massively to my newfound hatred for gaming

2016-07-14 19:26:10 UTC

2016-07-14 19:26:24 UTC
